    Why do you insist on saying Vittles is 42? He JUST turned 41 a few months ago and he was out of the game for 4 years so he doesn't have that wear and tear on his body. He's no worse for wear than Lewis was when he fought him except Lewis didn't keep himself in great shape year round.

    I don't know why. If Vitles loses they'll just say he's old and shot even though he is clearly the second best guy in the division. If he wins they'll say Vits is the greatest over 40 champion ever for beating a two division champion who is the epitome of the modern, evolved athlete. :patsch

    Lets face it, there is a lot of posturing by both sides. Sure Haye had his chance, but its well known the Klits are not easy to negotiate with. We'll put that on Haye though because he was the one screaming for the fight. This time Vits said he fight Haye if he beat Chisora and now seems to be backing out. This is clearly on him. Doesn't seem either side is to eager to get this fight made when you look at it from all angles.

    All true

    Vitali right now is not on Wlad's level, Wlad is prime and fast, yet he could not get a knock out against Haye who dodged a lot of his shots and even took a few good ones

    Why do Vitali fans think Haye wont be able to avoid his slow shots and land with his own?

    Vitali is more offensive minded.

    Wlad said he would fight like Lewis: Cautious.
    I don't think he cared too much about KOing Haye.


    Somewhat sarcistic now:
    Lennox Lewis couldn't even knock down a guy he totally outclassed. (David Tua)
    But that same guy has been knocked down by Monte Barrett.........

    Lewis must be featherfisted, right?

    I see nothing to indicate Vitali is backing out other than saying he may retire. At his age this is not backing out, especially since Haye is the only compelling fight left for him and he's been left at that alter twice now. My take anyhow.

    It should be a good recipe for a exciting fight, Vitali goes on the aggressive whilst Haye is much better when counterpunching on the backfoot.

    Please make it happen.

    Didn't Beonte recently say the Klits no longer have any interest in Haye?

    Vitali has said he wanted to fight Haye and knock him out on multiple occasions, right after Wlad/Haye for example and many times after that.

    They told Haye to fight Chisora and they would fight the Winner.

    It's a clear duck by Vitali/Bonte

    Wlad quote
    "Vitali you need fight David to get respect, Haye is ready, what are you waiting for"

    All promoters lie. So what? :lol: If Vitali retires, then yes, that means he has no interest in being stood up for a third time by Haye.

    It means he knows it's too risky and that they cannot stand the thought of losing to Haye

    It's the same reason his fans don't want the fight

    oh yeah, he's same age as Lewis was, 37 is same as 42, just like 250 pounds same as 350 pounds.

    Also, George Foreman was not 47 in the 90s, according to your logic he was 27.
    Moreover, David Haye, who fights once in 2 years, is 15. How did historians miss this, a 15 year old is in HW top 10 and became undisputed Cruserweight champ at age of 12.
    Also, since Wladimir Klitschko fought over 50 fights and Lewis fought only 30 something fights , Wladimir must be older then Lewis. Lewis' boxing age is 35 and Wladimir's 50.
    That's how old all these boxers are according to your logic.
